Acts 4:17-37

17ButG235 thatG3363 it may spreadG1268 noG3363 furtherG1909G4119 amongG1519 the peopleG2992, let us strictlyG547 threatenG546 themG846, that they speakG2980 henceforthG3371 to noG3367 manG444 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686. 18AndG2532 they calledG2564 themG846, and commandedG3853 themG846 notG3361 to speakG5350 at allG2527 norG3366 teachG1321 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 19ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, WhetherG1487 it isG2076 rightG1342 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 to hearkenG191 to youG5216 rather thanG3123G2228 to GodG2316, judge yeG2919. 20ForG1063 weG2249 cannotG3756G1410 butG3361 speakG2980 the things whichG3739 we have seenG1492 andG2532 heardG191. 21SoG1161 when they had further threatened themG4324, they letG630 themG846 goG630, findingG2147 nothingG3367 howG4459 they might punishG2849 themG846, becauseG1223 of the peopleG2992: forG3754 allG3956 men glorifiedG1392 GodG2316 forG1909 that which was doneG1096. 22ForG1063 the manG444 wasG2258 overG4119 fortyG5062 years oldG2094, onG1909 whomG3739 thisG5124 miracleG4592 of healingG2392 was performedG1096.

23AndG1161 being releasedG630, they wentG2064 toG4314 their own companyG2398, andG2532 reportedG518 allG3745 that the chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 had saidG2036 toG4314 themG846. 24AndG1161 when they heard thatG191, they lifted upG142 their voiceG5456 toG4314 GodG2316 with one accordG3661, andG2532 saidG2036, LordG1203, thouG4771 art GodG2316, whoG3588 hast madeG4160 heavenG3772, andG2532 earthG1093, andG2532 the seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 that is inG1722 themG846: 25WhoG3588 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of thyG4675 servantG3816 DavidG1138 hast saidG2036, WhyG2444 didG5433 the heathenG1484 rageG5433, andG2532 the peopleG2992 imagineG3191 vain thingsG2756? 26The kingsG935 of the earthG1093 stood upG3936, andG2532 the rulersG758 were gatheredG4863 togetherG1909G846 againstG2596 the LordG2962, andG2532 againstG2596 hisG846 ChristG5547. 27ForG1063 inG1909 truthG225 againstG1909 thyG4675 holyG40 childG3816 JesusG2424, whomG3739 thou hast anointedG5548, bothG5037 HerodG2264, andG2532 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, withG4862 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, were gathered togetherG4863, 28To doG4160 whateverG3745 thyG4675 handG5495 andG2532 thyG4675 counselG1012 determined beforeG4309 to be doneG1096. 29AndG2532 nowG3569, LordG2962, beholdG1896G1909 theirG846 threateningsG547: andG2532 grant toG1325 thyG4675 servantsG1401, that withG3326 allG3956 boldnessG3954 they may speakG2980 thyG4675 wordG3056, 30ByG1722G4571 stretching forthG1614 thyG4675 handG5495 toG1519 healG2392; andG2532 that signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 may be doneG1096 byG1223 the nameG3686 of thyG4675 holyG40 childG3816 JesusG2424. 31AndG2532 when theyG846 had prayedG1189, the placeG5117 was shakenG4531 whereG1722G3739 they wereG2258 assembledG4863; andG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, andG2532 they spokeG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 withG3326 boldnessG3954.

32AndG1161 the multitudeG4128 of them that believedG4100 wereG2258 of one heartG2588 andG2532 of oneG3391 soulG5590: neitherG2532G3761 saidG3004 anyG1520 of them that anyG5100 of the things which heG846 possessedG5224 wasG1511 his ownG2398; butG235 theyG846 hadG2258 all thingsG537 in commonG2839. 33AndG2532 with greatG3173 powerG1411 the apostlesG652 gaveG591 witnessG3142 of the resurrectionG386 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424: andG5037 greatG3173 graceG5485 wasG2258 uponG1909 themG846 allG3956. 34NeitherG3761G1063 wasG5225 there anyG5100 amongG1722 themG846 that was needyG1729: forG1063 as many asG3745 wereG5225 possessorsG2935 of landsG5564 orG2228 housesG3614 sold themG4453, and broughtG5342 the pricesG5092 of the things that were soldG4097, 35AndG2532 laid them downG5087 atG3844 the apostlesG652’ feetG4228: andG1161 distribution was madeG1239 to every manG1538 accordingG2530 asG302 he hadG2192 needG5100G5532. 36AndG1161 JosesG2500, whoG3588 byG5259 the apostlesG652 was surnamedG1941 BarnabasG921, (whichG3739 isG2076, being interpretedG3177, The sonG5207 of consolationG3874,) a LeviteG3019, and of the countryG1085 of CyprusG2953, 37HavingG5225G846 landG68, soldG4453 it, and broughtG5342 the moneyG5536, andG2532 laidG5087 it atG3844 the apostlesG652’ feetG4228.
